Service companies in innovative environments: The case of Spanish science parks

important sector in the Spanish economy, representing 67’27% of GDP anf 71’88% of the total employment (INE, 2009). Innovation has become one of the most important ways of improving precessess and products. Nowadays it is also in the service sector. In fact, annual budget assigned to innovative activities is increasing each year. In this context, using the data available at the Asociación de Parques Científicos y Tecnológicos de España (APTE), we analyze the importance of the service sector in science park. Attending to the APTE’s classification, we identify five typologies of companies referred to the service sector, namely: technology transfer offices, business incubators, training centres, IT services and consultancy services. Data is analyzed from two perspectives: individually (each park), and regionally ( parks grouped according to the Spanish’s political and administrative regions), focusing especially to IT companies. Our results show that nearly 50% of the companies allocated in science parks come from de service sector, corroborating the importance of this sector in those innovative environments.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Theoretical characterization of transition state dynamical resonances in heavy-light-heavy reactions

The resonant reactivity of three elementary Heavy-Light-Heavy reactions is presented and discussed. Collinear reactivity, in which a vibrational adiabatic model is constructed, is used for a detailed analysis of resonance phenomena, which appear as a direct consequence of transition state metastable states in the strong interaction region of the potential energy surface. Their influence on the detailed mechanism of the elementary process is also discussed. The shape of the resonant peak, and the phase and the Argand plot of the S-matrix are used for a further characterization.Three-dimensional approximate calculations are used to test the evolution of the energy dependent structure present in detailed quantities when sums and integrations over all partial waves contributing to reaction are taken into account to obtain the usual averaged global quantities such as integral state-to-state cross sections
